Thread: Jawa. Almosty kinda done. No really.

  1. #1

    Jawa. Almosty kinda done. No really.

    I was going to title this thread "Hey! I finally got that Buckwheat I was looking for!" but it didn't have the same zip.

    So this guy is sporting a broadcloth robe mark I... if I can change it out for some of the polyester looking finery Theressa has been showcasing I will use that for Mark II, which is already patterned out. The cut will be fixed to flare much more on the arms and base of the robe, and if I can find the suitable fabric the ends of the sleeves and robe bottom will be tattered like POTA humans. Otherwise I'll add a lining so the robe body will end in a french seam instead of the ugly stitching we've got here.

    Also the eye paint is rough - I was using a crude cardboard paint mask and some Krylon Fusion, instead of taking my time and properly taping it off (I was eager to see a finished mock up) so on round two I'll properly mask it, and make a few light coat passes to leave the eyes smooth.

    The end.

    Nice work! That is really getting there! A proud addition to the mythical Mego Star Wars line up. I would have had one in my collection.

    Very nice. That Obi Wan is sweet as well.

    Thats a great looking Jawa you got there. Proves the concept of how easy it would have been for Mego to make these back in the day...reused body...reused bandolier...new head...simple duds...perfect!!
